Introducing MH Legal

Our practice specialises exclusively in mental health and incapacity law. Margaret Houdmont, Pam White and Gail Guest are members of the Law Society's Mental Health Tribunal Panel. They each have over 25 years experience in providing advice on and representation in all aspects of mental health law. Jill Hawkins is a member of the Mental Health Tribunal Panel and has 5 years experience in mental health law in addition to her criminal courts experience.

Covering the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Humberside, we offer a confidential and personal service advising:

patients, families or carers about their rights

patients detained by the Criminal Courts

patents detained in secure and rehabilitation units

patients on civil sections (assessment/treatment)

patients who are prison transfer en-route to discharge

discharge and the application of S 117 rights

We always take a wider view of our client's personal situation and where other specialist advice is needed, for example family law or crime, we will refer him/her to a law firm we trust and that can advise on these specific areas of the law.
